To forgive and forget is a demand on black people without the work of white folks. Its a complicated idea in intimate relationships, and even bigger on a society level. I explore a little of both and give some food for thought, and a challenge of investment.

Racism isn't something that just floats in the air and no one can trace who and how it has been protected by the white community as something that is inevitable to human nature. The truth is, Racism is a delusion of grandeur. Considering extreme racism as a mental crisis could lead to real healing for the entire community, white, and BIPOC.

My guest Isiah Wagoner is a black man running for Mayor in Eugene as a write-in candidate. He has made previous remarks about Black women that are highly controversial and absolutely unfortunate. As he would be the first black Mayor if he won, I felt it was important to address who he is, what he represents, and what he has to say about his reputation marred with misogyny.

In a time of pain, fear and crisis we look for leadership. We look for something or someone to talk to us about where to go, how to be. Black women are notoriously labeled as strong. In times like these, LISTEN to strong black women. We have lived through this trauma and have resolved societies hatred for us into grace, candor, strength and resilience. If you're looking for leadership, we have been here thriving. I invite you to explore and reassess your very own strength to thrive in this incredible hard moments in time. Each person has PURPOSE, I explore how collectively our impact is and can be felt for generations......Join me.
